Biography

Dr. Don Greene is currently working as a professor in Department of Geology at Baylor University, USA. He has completed his Ph.D. from University of Oklahoma, 1980 & M. A., University of Oklahoma, 1977 & B. S., Texas A & M, Commerce, 1973. In his professional experience, Dr. Greene has focused exclusively on the academic setting. Beginning his teaching career at Baylor in 1979, Dr. Greene advanced through the ranks, becoming a Professor in 1995. Actively involved in the Earth Science program, he has recently assumed primary responsibility for a new undergraduate program in Geography. The undergraduate students under his supervision include both B. A. and B. S. E. majors in Earth Science and in Geography. He also supervises graduate students in the M. A. program.Dr. Greene's research interests include both agricultural meteorology and environmental geography. Dr. Greene has conducted investigations into the relationship between crop yields and weather variables experienced during the growing season. Initial research considered the influence of temperature and rainfall on wheat yields (Greene and others, 1979). Later, this approach was used to create an efficient water-conserving wheat irrigation schedule (Greene and Kirkham, 1980). This research now has been expanded to include the influence of the growing season climate on soybeans (Tsuchiya and Greene, 1990).
